Androgens may influence bladder cancer progression by affecting cellular behavior.
research Understanding the Epidemiology, Natural History, and Key Pathways Involved in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer was a major health issue in 2009, especially for Black men, and targeting the 5alpha-reductase enzyme could help in its prevention and treatment.
research The Potential of Androgenic Alopecia Management from Plant Derivatives
Plant extracts like Avicennia marina, Boehmeria nipononivea, and Camellia sinensis could potentially treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
research A Role for Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 in Vascular Remodeling During Endometrial Decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Androst-3,5-Diene-3-Carboxylic Acid Derivatives as Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type 1 and 2
New chemical compounds were made that effectively block an enzyme linked to prostate growth.
research The 5alpha-Reductase Type 1, But Not Type 2, Gene Is Expressed in Anagen Hairs Plucked from the Vertex Area of the Scalp of Hirsute Women and Normal Individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research A Role for Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 in Vascular Remodeling During Endometrial Decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability During Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research PNU 157706, A Novel Dual Type I and II 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Expression of mRNA for Androgen Receptor, 5α-Reductase, and 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Sebocytes Are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Other Antiandrogens: Alternative Treatments for Acne and Hirsutism
Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.
research Clinical Application of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
5α-reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, effectively treat BPH, male baldness, and hirsutism, with potential for acne and prostate cancer prevention.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen-Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Identification of a New Plant Extract for Androgenic Alopecia Treatment Using a Non-Radioactive Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cell-Based Assay
A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
research Androgen Actions on the Human Hair Follicle: Perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Modulating Testosterone Pathway: A New Strategy to Tackle Male Skin Aging?
Honokiol might help reduce male skin aging by maintaining testosterone levels.
research Extraskeletal Actions of Vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research The Rationale for Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in the Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
